Mandy Moore Reveals the Inspiration for Her 2019 Emmys Look

Maxwell also included a special touch for Moore, embroidering her name on the label of her look. “He’s a class act, that Brandon Maxwell,” Moore said. “I hope that means I get to keep it, and that I’ll get to pass this on to my kids one day.”

A gown custom-made for her wasn’t even the most luxurious part of her look: Moore accessorized with $225,000-worth of Forevermark diamonds. “I think there’s nothing more classic than diamonds. Simple diamonds,” she said. “There’s a lot going on in the dress. So I wanted to make sure that the jewelry was sophisticated and really emphasized everything that was going on.”

“I feel like if you’re lucky enough to get to come to any of these kinds of events at all, you kind of become the quintessential girl and you fantasize and think, cool, now what do I want to do,” she said of the look. “And it’s all an opportunity to express yourself and do something a little different.”
